Fox Plans Major Past Life Rollout

The drama - which stars Kelli Giddish, Nicholas Bishop, Ravi Patel and Richard Schiff and combines basic mystery-solving with the concept of reincarnation - will air four new episodes over a 10-day stretch.

It will premiere after American Idol on February 9; move to Thursdays at 9 p.m. that same week - and then repeat the Tuesday/Thursday new episode pairing the following week.

The first batch of season one episodes will wrap up on March 11. Fringe will then return to its regular time slot on March 18.

Follow all that? Past Life does have a promising pedigree: David Hudgins, who worked on Friday Night Lights, will serve as executive producer.
